Lately I've found a real love for Mid-Century Mod Art... and weeeell, its showing!
I've been playing with my Project Life abit, but its far behind and I've missed a few of the pages that Blackie would be in. Each year for my Project Life album, I like to do an intro page - something that says '2018' or the like. I hadn't got to it, so this was a good opportunity.
It was a great way to do a tribute to both Blackie and Chirp with a header page which would be the last Project Life annual album they would be in. I tried to show Chirp's mischievous side and Blackie's 'non-chalant' side and the relationship they weeeeell - sort of shared :)
Edited in: the line of black cats above is actually washi tape! Great find!!

Game 2 over at the Cat Lovers Hop is all about 'what's in a name'
For Blackie... weeeeell, the name is very obvious! He was black! The girls were about 4yrs and 6 yrs old when he came to us, and they thought 'Blackie' was a great name! Little did I know that soon enough I tried to pick him up (a total rookie mistake) and got torn to pieces! He was terrified so went into his 'flight or fight' mode, AND he did both! I truly thought - he thought - I was going to devour him! Afterall - that was the only world he knew.
A lot of adjustments were made after that.... and he so wanted to be a part of it - it just took a while.

Beautiful journal page!!!
Sweet Blackie and Chirp. Just doesn't seem possible that there won't be any more of your entertaining tales about them...singly and together.
Love this journal page....so many great elements. Love your drawings and the retro art.
Thanks so much for being a part of the 2018 Cat Lovers Hop!!!

Great journal page, love the sentiment and divine washi tape. Have a pawsome day! 😻
I am CRAZY about mid-century art too! Love the entire look, and all of your designs are awesome! I am so happy to hear that it all worked out with little Blackie! We had a kitty like that too, and it just takes time and love! Max certainly was NOT a cuddler! He loves to be around us now, loves his head scratches, always comes when we call his name, and sleeps with us at night, so we have made HUGE progress with him!
Your page layout looks amazing and I loved reading the story about "Blackie". Thank you so much for sharing and thanks so much for being a part of the 2018 Cat Lovers Hop!!!

Well that was a terrifying first encounter - you were obviously very patient and loving and you ended up with a wonderful pet. Your LO is gorgeous, love all the elements and how they came together! I started a scrapbook in last year's hop but never finished it. Hoping to get back to it as they are such a great memory keeper.
What a great project page! I love the retro look of it. It is so great of you to share the story. One of my boys is a farel and it has only taken 8 months for him to allow me the privilage of petting him. He is still pretty spooky at times but he can be such a sweet love.
Love that kitty washi tape.
